    I had bought my 2007 honda odyssey used in august 2017 prior to our second child being born. It was one family owned with approximately 75k miles on it. About 6 months into it the ac compressor broke causing the car to cease being drivable and requiring a tow to our mechanic. He found that not only did the compressor break but also the serpentine belt and the tensioner had gone. We had the repair done and everything…

    Driving very slowly uphill in a hospital parking deck, the principal driver of the car turned into an available parking slot applying some gas, from 25-30 feet away, only to have the vehicle accelerate uncontrollably, even with the driver's right foot fully engaged with the brake pedal. The van jumped over parking blocks at the end of the space and struck a concrete post, whereupon the engine compartment crumpled…

    Side and front engine motor mounts are coming apart. This is an arizona vehicle, not subject to accelerated salt rust. According to honda owner forums, this is a common problem for which the manufacturer takes no responsibility. Considering the condition and mileage of my vehicle, motor mounts should not be coming apart.

    We bought this 2007 honda odyssey a few months ago, and ever since we have owned it, it will just keep going for awhile at the same speed we had it at, even though we take our foot off the gas. We have to put it in neutral to stop, or it will pull a bit hard on the brakes. We can stop it like this, but it will wear the brakes out fast. Also, when we put it in drive or reverse, after a few seconds, it speeds up a…

    My honda odyssey shuts off completely while driving, at that time you can't turn the steering wheel (or it is very very hard to turn). This is preceded by usually the lights on dashboards flashing. Sometimes it will shut off (dashboard will go black) and come right back after few seconds. Other times the i have to stop and turn it on again and it works. Yesterday it turned off and the car came to stop then i moved…

    The tensioner bolt has sheared off 3 times since the serpentine belt was replaced. In both cases the car was in motion and power steering was lost making it nearly impossible to steer the car safely. Fortunately this did not happen on the highway and occurred on city streets. In all cases our mechanic used original factory parts. This is a significant safety concern for my wife and 5 children. It appears others have…

    Engine mounts went bad. When accelerating from a stopped position, the car appears to jump. Took it to the dealer and both the front and back engine mounts were cracked. Very expensive to replace. Dealer said it's not a common problem on most cars, but he's had several honda odysseys come in with this problem.

I'm not sure if this is a safety issue but it seems excessive so i thought i would report it.
